Tuscan Chicken Pasta is a delicious dish that combines tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Here’s a simple recipe to try:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained of oil and chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 8 ounces cooked pasta (such as penne or fettuccine)
Instructions:
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and well combined.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the fresh spinach leaves. Stir until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing until it is well coated with the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful Tuscan Chicken Pasta!
